“It all starts with God’s attitude of love toward the world, which we celebrate in the Sacrament of Holy Baptism when we are joined to Christ in life, death and resurrection. We gather as a community of faith so that we can live out our baptismal identity to be People of Grace in a chaotic and often confusing world. When we gather, we spend time in scripture, we pray, we sing, we receive God’s gift of Holy Communion, and we help each other discover ways we can live generously, graciously, and compassionately in our neighborhoods and the larger world, all for Jesus’ sake. While appreciating our past, we are open to the Holy Spirit’s surprises for the present and future, and we live each day in confidence of God’s love for us. All are welcome to be part of this walk in faith as a person of Grace.In response to Christ’s boundless love for all, members of Grace share that love by inviting all – regardless of ethnicity or race, educational or religious background, economic, physical, mental or social condition, gender identity or sexual orientation – to come and participate in the life of Grace”.
